B.A. in Philosophy and Economics, Brown University, 2022

I am a third-year Ph.D. student, originally from Istanbul, Turkey. My primary philosophical interests are in ethics, aesthetics, and social epistemology.

I'm curious about how we build a shared social world if we accept that we all live in "partly private, partly fabricated world"s, as Iris Murdoch describes it. My research looks at the role that conversations play in building our perspectives, and vice versa.
